Once upon a time…
We’ve had a great first week back in Longmynd!
We have begun programming on Scratch in Computing where we moved and edited our Sprites and learnt how to add and delete simple coding. 
We started our tennis lessons and showed off our racket skills!
In Science we studied different rocks and described their appearance and properties.
In PSHE we are learning about keeping our teeth healthy and we considered what damages our teeth and classified foods on whether they were high sugar or low sugar.

This week in Art we have completed our Charcoal cave art. We thought about space and texture for the walls and how we could create shadows when we shined torches into them. The children were fantastic and really enjoyed creating their final pieces.
We used the apparatus in Gymnastics this week to practice our movement, balances and rolls. The children will build on this to create group sequences next week.
‘Let’s Connect’ is about making connections with others in healthy, rewarding and meaningful ways. This can be online, in a team or choir or shared dance, in the community, through acts of kindness, etc. Let’s Connect is about making meaningful connections. Human beings thrive in communities, and this connection is vital for our well-being. When we have healthy connections – to family, friends, and others – this can support our mental health and our sense of well-being. And when our need for rewarding social connections is not met, we can sometimes feel isolated and lonely – which can have a negative impact on our mental health. In the week commencing 6th February, we will be exploring these ideas with the children and the whole school community.
As well as supporting Mental Health Week, we have created our very own virtual classroom full of resources, support for parents and children, helpful hints and games.
How to use the interactive classroom:
- Click on any images in the bookcase to access (left) books (right) games and activities
- Click on the ‘proud to support’ which will take you straight to the Children’s mental health support page.
- Click on ‘need help‘ for support pages such as charities and support with school
- Click on ‘activities and strategies‘ for games and activities for children
- Click on the ‘grown-ups poster‘ for support for adults and our very own concerns and questions box where we will get back to you.
Many people struggle with their mental health at times and there is no shame in admitting these struggles. The sooner support is available, the better. At Holy Trinity we support students to have good mental health through our curriculum and support services. Supporting children and parents is key and through the virtual classroom, we feel support is available. We have a Mental Health and Wellbeing team at Holy Trinity who are available for both adults and children.
Its been another fantastic week of learning in Long Mynd this week!
We have been using the xylophones in music to practise songs and keep a rhythm.
In Art we have began creating our cave walls for our Cave Art Project using charcoal, rubbers and chalk.
In Science we have learnt about muscles and investigated whether people with longer, thicker quadriceps could jump further.
In PE we have been practising using bunny hops to move and get on and off apparatus. We also practised our balances on and off the apparatus.
We have had a brilliant first few weeks back in Long Mynd! The children have really enjoyed our new topics and we were very excited to have a visit from the Air Ambulance this afternoon!
In Art we have been experimenting with the medium of charcoal and how we can create different effects using our hands, fingers, rubbers and paintbrushes.
We have used our increasing knowledge of charcoal to create cave drawings based on cave art. The children worked on large rolls of paper and really enjoyed creating narratives through their art.
In Science we have have been looking at the human and animal skeletons. We handled different bones and learnt about the different functions our skeleton has.
We had a surprise visit from the Air Ambulance who were kind enough to let us come to have a closer look and answer our questions. The children had some really insightful questions and were very excited to see the helicopter take off!
